Our Impressions of Selhurst park

Selhurst Park has a capacity approx 26,000, and like many stadiums consists of four very differing stands. The two-tier Holmesdale Road stand, built in 1995 offers excellent facilities, the smaller Whitehorse Lane stand contains the infamous 'executive' boxes, and the much older Arthur Wait stand. Away fans are normally allocated approx 3,000 tickets within the older Arthur Wait stand (horay... old stand = away fans). We have been warned by several visitors, that this stand is not very steeply banked, so many fans tend to standup, until ordered to sit down by the stewards!

Local Area around Selhurst park

Car Parking

The ground car park gets full very quickly, so unless for really early, then forget it!You best bet is probably street parking. For this, check out the area near the Selhurst railway station (Edith Road / Dagnall Park). The roads in Thornton Heath are pay and display, which is also a good option, and is surprisingly cheap, but beware, some only allow you to park for up to 2 hours!

There are 500 spaces at the Sainsbury's car park off Whitehorse Lane although this gets congested afterwards, and sometime the store manager get a bit miffed!

Disabled Facilities at Selhurst park

Disabled away fans are offered 15 spaces within the Arthur Wait stand (with the away fans), plus extra space in the new Holmesdale Road stand if necessary (...with the home fans). The admission, like most large arenas, is free for the disabled person, and half-price for the helper, and places have been known to the limited for 'big' games so it's best to call the club and pre-book. We would point out though, that there are NO dedicated disabled parking facilities, so it's best to park in the Sainsbury's car park, and get there early. There are 20 seats for the visually impaired with hospital radio commentary.

Pubs Near Selhurst park

The Goat House

Located on Penge Road, this is a fullers pub, and is a large, footie pub. The beer and the bar meals are excellent, with both being served all day. There is also a big-screen TV for those all important Sky reviews, a pool table, darts board. and a quieter family room for the kiddies. This pubs also boast some disabled toilets.

The Albion

This pub is located on the High Street, and is really a friendly traditional locals pub. Bar snacks served all day, there is a Big-screen TV, pool, darts, and families are made welcome, but the atmosphere is more akin to a 'local' that footie pub.

The White Horse

Located on Selhurst Road, and is a large traditional pub with a good atmosphere. There is a good range of food served from 12 until 2, a Big-screen TV, pool, beer garden, and car park.

Railway Social Club

From Selhurst station, turn left immediately from exit and down a dodgy looking alleyway for about 100 yards. Tucked away down this ally is the Railway Members social club. It may cost 50p to get in but this is more than made up by the subsidised beer prices inside. Also do a good collection of Sandwiches and Pub Snacks. Be aware however that 'Swearing' or 'Drunken Behaviour' will not be tolerated on the dancefloor.

The Clifton Arms

Located in Clifton Road, this is very popular with away fans to the point that it only admits season-ticket holders after 13:30.

The Prince George

This was our reviewers personal favourite. Located in Whitehorse Road near Norwood Station, this pub sells good beer and has a large-screen TV. There is also the bonus of a good Chinese/chippie close-by.
